Champ Clark and his crowd have

not a remote chance of this impreg
nable bulwark of 'democracy being
destroyed in Baltimore this year,
but the late opposition to it might
serve to recall that it was in Balti
more that the rule was originally In
voked. In 1844 Van Buren was again ad
vanced by JackBon, notwithstanding
the fact that Van Buren had evaded
a definite stand on the proposed an
nexation of Texas, to which Jackson
was resolutely committed. ' Jackson
assured the party that Van Buren
would be all right, on the issue when
he gave it sufficient attention and
urged his nomination. The opposi
tion realized it would require strat
egy to beat the Jackson Influence,
so finally devised the two-thirds
rules as the modus operandi.
On the first ballot Van Buren
polled 140 votes against 120 for the
field, but his strength began to wane
and on the ninth ballot James K.
Polk of Tennessee was nominated.
Several attempts have since been
made to revoke this rule, but none
successfully. Some of Mr. Cleve
land's various opponents ' twenty
years ago declared he could never
win without revoking the rule, but,
of course, he did not revoke the rule
and won on the first ballot against
Hill, Gorman, Boise, Gray and Mor
rison. The candidate nominated
this year in Baltimore Is quite likely
to be nominated by virtue of this
ancient rule.
Supremacy of the Army Mule.
The Missouri mule and a certain
Missourlan's hound' dog have been
rather constantly in the limelight of
late. The , mule has achieved a
definite victory, but the hound dog's
fight is yet very uncertain. ' -a
That docile donkey, the army
mule, native, of course, of Missouri,
has proved, after a series of tests,
his supremacy for heavy hauling for
military purposes and the command
ing officer has certified to his ln
dlspensabllity, declaring it would he
unsafe to supersede him with : the
automobile or any other means of
locomotion Just now.
One may glory in the mule's tri
umph without feeling himself at all
mulish on the subject, The mule is
a veteran in the military history of
the country. ' He "has done valiant
service; he has pioneered on most
battlefields, and we have no desire
to belittle his place among the mili
tary heroes nor deny the permanency
of bis achievements. This we do
believe, however, that sooner or
later the auto will be running him
a very 1 much closer, race f or 1 first
place as the big mogul of army haul
ing. The auto-makers have not yet
tried scientifically to put him out of
business, and while they may never,
should never, accomplish that, their
success in so many other fields of en
deavor encourages the belief that be
fore long they may turn out a ma
chine tit for the work now exclu
sively done by the mule. At least,
It will stand the mule in good stead
to keep his ears pricked.
Learning How to Lire.
One-fifth more people in this coun
try are living past 60 years of age
than accomplished the feat in former
years, and that considers the dif
ference in population, too, according
to the patient scientist who made
the : discovery. This applies es
pecially to people in the cities. ; ;
That is the best defense the city
has had for a long time.' Spite of
its tenset life, spite of its breakneck
way of doing business, Us late hours
and high living, the city seems to
have learned how. to live. It Is a
great tribute to our economic and
social reforms. ,' The city man does
work hard and lives hard, but he
works shorter hours than formerly;
he takes a vacation more regularly
than he did; he observes the laws of
sanitation more closely; has a more
sanitary place, to work and to live
than his father had. All " these
things count. - It is precisely , this
that makes our fight for scientific
living go. Longevity looming up
already! , Good, we are making
progress. " ;
,The human brain and body are
capable of severe tests of endurance
if, they are properly trained for it.
The city man knows that the lounger
has no advantage over the strenuous
toiler. Not hard work is going to
kill us, but hard work tempered with
the proper, diffusion, of hard sense,
Is the very thing we want. ;
, The government has been expend
ing on an average about $300,000 a
year in providing artificial limbs for
soldiers of the civil and other , wars.

RallroeUl Wages Abroad.
The Bureau , of Railway Economics.
Washington, publishes the results of an
extended inquiry Into railway conditions
in the principal countries of Europe, the
wages paid to employes and cost of liv
ing, based upon the latest available data
The Impressive feature of the report Is
a comparison with wages of railway em
ployes in the United States. The average
dally compensation of railway employes
of all classes for the year 1310 was In
the United States $2.23, in Great Britain
11.06. The ordinary trackman, classed
as the lowest paid employe In this coun
try receives a greater compensation than
many of the railway employes of France
In the higher grades and with respon
sible duties. Wages and allowances of
the typical englneman in Germany
amounted for 1308 to $646.88; in Austria
to $870.80; of a fireman In Germany to
$424.59; in Austria to $532.03. On two of
ths principal railways of France the
compensation of englnemen for 1008
ranged from $32424 to $596.98. In Italy In
the same year the maximum compensa
tion for englnemen was $812.70 and for
firemen $476.05. A report of the British
Board of Trade shows the average
weekly wags of englnemen in 1907 was
$1117 and of firemen $6.97. In the same
year the average weekly wage of en
glnemen on American roads was $25.80,
counting tlx days to the week, and fire
men $15.24 The rental of a three of four
room house or flat Is almost as high. In
Berlin, Parts and London as throughout
the United States? Outside these capitals
rentals run from $30 to $90 a year less.
The British Board of Trade estimates the
food and fuel cost of a typical working
man's family In the United States at
17.1 per eent more In France or Germany,
35. S per eent more than In Belgium, and
88 per eent more than in the United
Kingdom. c .

Iron Role la Egypt.
When Theodore Roosevelt came out of
the African Jungle two years ago he
stopped at Cairo long enough to hand
the nativistlo agitators a hot talk on the
folly of kicking against British role.
Later on In London he advised the ap
plication of the big stick to Egyptians
who persisted In crying out, ' "Let the
people rule." Evidently the British gov
ernment considered the suggestion worth
a trial and Lord. Kitchened is swinging
the big stick with all the vigor of a
soldier ruler. A writer In the Manchester
(England) Guardian cites Case after case
of prosecution Of Egyptian nationalist
newspapers and the fining and Imprison
ing 'of editors for offenses which in
England would be no offenses at all.
Kitchener has revived an obsolete press
law, dating from 1881 a, law. then pro
claimed by decree at the time of the
Arab! rebellion, though never actually put
In force even then. It enables judges to
proceed summarily against publications
or speeches which express "contempt for
the government" or "incite, hatred of the
government." The military censorship
extends to outside publications, particu
larly the English monthly, Egypt. The
circulation and sale of the latter was
prohibited because it copied from the
Fortnightly Review an article which pur
ported to give on authority Lord Kitch
ener's views on the ultimata aims of
English poller In Egypt Yet the Fort
nightly Review, carrying the same ar
ticle, was permitted to circulate as freely
as before.' , " "'; ' ; ' ' ''

New York Clearing
By CHARLES
Mr. William Sherer, manager of the
clearing house of New York, was frank
and straightforward In his testimony be
for the Pujo committee.
Two principles were made dear: First,
that the five gen-
tletnen who control
the dearlng house,
are an obllgarchy,
standing In such
relation to the
banks that they
are able to exer
cise an arbitrary
and unregulated
power over the fi
nancial Interests of
the oommunlty.
Second, that the
extraordinary power
of these gentlemen
Is, as a matter of
fact usually, though
not always, exer
cised with modera
tion and with an intelligent regord to
the public welfare. 1
The dealings of the clearing house with
the Oriental bank seems to be an example
of the failure of moderation. That case
seems to have exhibited an unwarrant
able exercise of arbitrary power.
However that may be, it is certain that
the present investigation will serve to
call the attention or sober business men
to the fact that the existence. of an ir
responsibly power at the center and heart
of the financial organisation of . the
metropolis is an undesirable thing. '

supervision of the French government for
the purpose of loaning money and nego
tiating bonds and mortgages which art
limited to the amount due . from the

farmer, so that instead of seeking to raise
money directly from some local Investor

Material for nevolatlon.
That displays of lavish wealth on one
hand with grinding poverty on the other
aotually invites revolution, la the view
expressed by James Douglass In London
Opinion. The widespread unrest In the
labor world, the frequency of strikes and
rumblings of strikes threatened are out
ward signs of dangerous conditions. An
abundance of wealth by the privileged
dasses and their opposition to a living
wage for workers accentuates the situa
tion. The London editor, as an example,
quotes from the Pall Mall Gasette of
May I, with the headline, "Plovers' eggs,
Early Spring Delicacy, in Danger," the
statement of the, manager of a fashion
able restaurant that two distinguished
guests, one of them a well known noble
man, paid a guinea apiece for the first
plover eggs of the season. In contrast
with this is the decision of Lord St Ald
wyn that 8 shillings a day Is too much
to ask coal miners to' pay their miners.
So the miner for four days , work does
not get the price of one plover's egg,
the glory of which, It Is Bald, "is almost
akin to winning the derby." The same
paper, owned by the expatriated Astor,
notes that melons have now taken the
place of plovers' eggs at luncheon, and
that the first melons served at the Savoy
cost 2 10s, a melon being no more than
enough for four or five persons. So $2.50
for a good slice of melon Is not too much
for one man, while that amount for two
days' work In a coal mine Is altogether
too much for another. This and similar
displays emphasise the mighty gulf be
tween the toller and the spender and
makes for revolution.

Hag Gift to Ckrtty. ,
, A gift of $10,000,000 to charity made by
an Australian woman, Mrs. Russell Hall,
approaches the Rockefeller and Carnegie
scale of magnificence. The woman's hus
band, no longer living, was a gold miner,
and took part In the famous Eureka
stockade riots Of 1864, when the miners
of Ballarat rebelled against a license tax
levied on lucky and unlucky alike. Over
200 "last ditchers" intrenched themselves
In a stockade on the Eureka, and hoisted
a rebel flag. When troops rushed their
position twenty-six insurgents were
killed and many were wounded, .while
twenty of the soldiers fell. Mr. Hall sur
vived to be a good citizen as well as a
very rich man, and this gift by his
widow would have paid the fees of a
whole army of miners. It is to be made
a permanent fund, half the income being
to New South Wales, while the other
half Is divided between Victoria and

degree, everybody's business. And, under
modern conditions, everybody's business
cannot be wholesomely regulated by a
benevolent feudalism.
Indeed, It should be said that modern
business conditions are such that any in
jeotlon of despotism Into the commercial
organization operates like sand In tho
bearings of a delicate machine. It tends
to stop the wheels.
The world of modern business Is a won
derful realm that has no parallel in the
kingdoms of the past It is a now and
unprecedented empire of Intrinsic and
solf-vindlcatlng law. It Is built upon
credit and contract.
The stability of the business world de
mands that credits shall not be given,
like prince's favors, but shall be accords 1
only to those who "deliver the goods."
and that the contracts shall, in the main,
be fair bargains without flaw of fraud
or duress.
. Of all the forms of human organisation
that have been attempted since the world
began the modern system of business
centering in the bank and the clearing
house Is the least fit for arbitrary rule.
The proper work of the clearinghouse
Is to keep the grand general day book of
the business world, and to hold the bal
ance true. It should cherish no feuds and
know no favorites. It should have n
power to lift any man up or cast any man
down. .- ;
